RECAPS
Lakeside finds themselves on top of the standings after one week of play.
With two early season wins, the Lions are off to a strong start. In a
dominating performance the Panthers top a now .500 Bainbridge Island
squad. Mercer Island came out showing speed and fight but were topped by
a strong Overlake team. Holy Names struggled in their only matchup of the
season so far against Bainbridge. Forest Ridge has yet to play it's first
game.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Lakeside's one two punch, Liz and Mallory. It's not just the combined
assists and goals that make this twosome tick. Draw Control and ground
balls could spell the difference in tight games and they came up with
plenty of those.
- Team play is what had the Panthers running away with victory in their
season opener. Excellent draw control, superior ball movement, and
scoring threats deep into the roster is what set them apart. The defense
of the opposition never had a chance to settle.
- On seperate teams but deserving their own category are the strong
performances of Lakeside goalie Kate Okrasinski and Panthers goalie
Christine O'Connel. Both goalies attended goalie camps and the skills
they picked up are paying off.
B League Results
RECAP
In B league action Kitsap finds themselves topping the league in the early
season. Greenwood comes out strong with a win and a tie. Bellevue shows
itself as a team to beat in their win over Mercer Island B. Second year
team Snohomish finds themselves behind early but are an exciting new
addition to the ever growing league.
HIGLIGHTS
- Mercer Island B versus Snohomish makes the hightlight reel for sure.
In an incredibly close game, Craig Van Der Horn's squad won a hard fought
battle in the closing seconds after Snohomish was whistled for shooting
space.
- Kitsap's Bonnie Cordoza and Krista Burleson each have seven goals in
two games.
- Greenwood's Kathy Osborne, Chelsea Wong, and Sarah Bryant each have
six goals. Osbourne has three assists thus far and Wong is right behind
with 2.
